Best time to visit the Borghese Gallery

Weekday vs Weekend

Weekdays: Visiting during the week is recommended as there are fewer crowds. Try to visit shortly after the gallery opens for a peaceful viewing experience.
Weekends: The Borghese Gallery sees a large number of tourists during the weekends, so it is ideal to choose a time slot during the weekdays to avoid crowds. Please avoid booking slot 11 AM as it is the most popular slot and the gallery will be packed.

Peak season vs low season

Peak season (June to September): It's generally more crowded during the summer months as it is holiday season. You will find tourist attractions to be more crowded than usual and also higher hotel prices.
Lean season (November to March): The best time to visit Rome is during this period. You can expect cold weather and occasional rain but lesser crowds. Another good time to visit and avoid crowds is from October through November, during the seasonal transition to autumn/onset of winter.

How Long Should I Spend at Borghese Gallery?

Visitors typically spend about 2 hours exploring the Borghese Gallery. The museum has a strict 2-hour visit time, and visitors are required to exit the gallery after the stipulated period. This is to ensure that all visitors have a chance to enjoy the collection without overcrowding and to protect the artwork from overexposure.
